The ability to feel fear and keep moving forward distinguishes the living from the merely breathing.

It takes committed, high energy, full-tilt boogie participation to have the kind of life you want.

True independence means being free from the domination of your own internal automatic behaviors, not doing what you feel like when the urge strikes.

Possibilities are completely different. When you ask 'what is possible?' you must stretch your imagination out of the confines of the familiar. To live a life beyond the mediocre, ask not 'what are my options?' but 'What is possible?'

Steps are what you take when you think you have forever.

The secret of creating anything new in your life consists of creating new commitments and then holding the tiller to your new course until it becomes established as a behavior.

A passionately lived life is not always comfortable. Going for it involves being open to all of life - the joys, the sorrows, the mundane as well and the magic, the splendid victories, the most abject defeats. You might even stop closing your eyes during the scary parts of the movie.
